1983, 1st edition. 125 pp, color photos. A well done pictorial overview of the Colorado rock climbing scene, home of many of the great climbing areas of the USA. Large-format softcover. Brand new condition. SIGNED by Glenn Randall.

“A portrait of Colorado’s climbing scene, in summer and winter.” Practically a guidebook to some of the best rock climbs (40 classic, natural, hard lines) with detailed descriptions of each route, history, many quotes from climbers pioneering the climbs, photos of climbers on the routes. Also includes 10 ice climbs.

The juxtaposition of dry rock climbs with ice climbs at the end works well here. Photos of climbers often on the crux move helps show the flavor of each route. Mountain as well as crag & cliff routes are covered, but the majority are easy access crag lines. This book has been out of print for several years, but the routes and rocks hold up against new developments, mainly because most were at the top level of climbing at the time of publication and are now classics.
